I built another temple to a strangerI gave away my heart to the rushing windI set my course to run right into dangerSought the company of fools instead of friends

You know I've been unfaithfulLovers in linesWhile you're turning over tables with the rage of a jealous kindI chose the gallows to the aisleThought that love would never findHanging ropes will never keep youAnd your love of a jealous kindLove of a jealous kind

Trying to jump away from rock that keeps on spreadingFor solace in the shift of the sinking sandI'd rather feel the pain all too familiarThan to be broken by a lover I don't understand'Cause I don't understand

One hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altarsIf I should slow my pace and finally subject me to graceAnd love that shames the wise, betrays the heart's deceit and liesAnd breaks the back of foolish pride
